Since the President is ALWAYS wrong, then it stands to reason that fracking is certainly bad for our country.

Obama praised the U.S. natural gas boom in a recent climate change speech and credited it with delivering cleaner energy. The boom is a result of hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, in which chemical-spiked water is pumped underground to free oil and natural gas trapped in shale rock.The Obama administration’s proposed fracking rules say companies don’t have to disclose the chemicals used until after the drilling is finished. More than 175,000 public comments were posted on the new rules on Friday (August, 2013), the last day for the public to weigh in. Environmental activists like David Braun said they volunteered for Obama’s election campaign and now feel like the president is turning their backs on them.“It’s time for him to represent those who elected him, not big oil and gas,” said Braun, an anti-fracking organizer from New York. “While it’s admirable that the president wants to tackle climate change, fracking has no place in any plan to combat it.”Anti-fracking protesters greeted Obama on Friday as he toured upstate New York to promote a college affordability plan. A large number lined the road into Obama’s town hall event at Binghamton University with signs, some saying “No Fracking Way.”
